The ARU, in consultation with the State Unions is responsible for course content and accreditation. Coaching programs can be divided into two categories:

Accreditation Courses

Smart Rugby (2 year qualification)

Foundation Course (Level One)

Developing Coach Course (Level Two)

Performance Coach Course (Level Three)

Certificate Courses (non-accredited);

Foundation Course

Coaching Kids Rugby

Junior Sevens

Senior Sevens

Accreditation courses are registered with the Australian Sports Commission and coaches have a 'licence' for four (4) years. After that time the coach must either re-accredit or complete a higher level of coaching accreditation.

Each State Union run numerous courses during the year at major venues with professionally trained staff.
